Oozing with groove and fun Pierre Paulin’s designs are everything. Sensuous and functional, lines compliment curves in a total environment beckoning to the human form. A purveyor of truly original and interpretive design, Paulin’s resurgence is exhilarating. Magnetized to these works, Galerie Perrotin presents an extraordinary exhibition of rare designs produced in limited edition by Paulin, Paulin, Paulin, a business run by the designer’s family. Aspiring to Paulin’s elegant exuberance I encase myself in the odd mod romance of Marni’s Fall 2016 Collection with a sculptural bolt, her signature Trunk bag in cool blue. My brush with optical bliss for the September Issue of W Magazine.
